What a scam. I scheduled an appointment for them to fix few things that I was told were under…read morewarranty, one of which was a loud buzzing noise from my Hayward C200S filter housing. Tech said this is a super common issue and just overall bad design as the rubber end cap eventually forms holes/cracks so it no longer seals properly. This filter was just over a hear old, but he replaced the filter element and it fixed the issue. Then to my surprise I get a random invoice for almost $260 for the filter and install labor, when there was zero conversation or consent given for this non warrantied service. I spoke with Kevin the store manager from the Lakewood Ranch store who told me that according to his tech he did discuss with me, which is totally false. His solution was to just apologize and come get their now used filter and give me back mine, that basically they did nothing wrong. Then on top of it they were supposed to fix one remaining issue they missed on their original appointment and the tech said he was told to just install my old filter and leave. Again very poor communication as Kevin said nothing about cancelling this follow up call. I merely told him that in the future I wouldn't be a customer do theirs and he assumed this name to just cancel anything pending, instead of asking.

My wife and I were looking to get a dining room set. We couldn't find anything we liked anywhere we…read morelooked. My wife mentioned stopping in at the Ellenton Store, since we live nearby. We were greeted by Jeffrey Slaton, and informed him what we were looking for, and what our size limitations were. He directed us to several different sets, and we had decided on one particular set. Jeffrey then went to check to see if it was in stock, with my wife in tow. While they were busy doing that, I continued to look around, and spotted a set we hadn't seen before. I sat at it, and thought it would be the perfect set for our dining area. When he and my wife came back to find me, I suggested it to my wife, and she agreed it would suit our home dining space. We also purchased a bench to go with the dining set, and a desk. Jeffrey was very courteous, very accommodating, answered all our questions, and most of all, didn't pressure us into making a decision. We would definitely shop at The Furniture Warehouse in Ellenton again, if we have any future furniture needs. They have a great selection at many different price points.

First, be skeptical of all 5-star reviews. They give $25 gift certificates to people who place…read more5-star reviews. We really like the salesperson who waited on us. We were buying two $900/each recliners then were told it would be $149 for delivery. To soften the blow he said that would cover all purchases for a year. We then decided to also purchase a chair and a couch. Well, they added on another $50 delivery. What? He had just said it would cover all orders for 12 months. Nope. The couch was a floor model so it adds on another $50. One of the back corners had the back loose for the about 10 inches towards the top. The salesperson said he would have someone there staple it back. When we received the couch, the upper portion of the back had indeed been restapled. However, the rest of that corner below that was flopping open. Someone who said she was in charge of the repair dept. at corporate called and said that they would do nothing to correct it. She said that it was a floor model, therefore we had implicitly accepted any and all damage. That seems like a pretty nasty response. Doubly so since it was NOT damaged like that when we bought it.

Ordered a custom zinc-topped table from Steven, SDS Designs. Three years after putting into use,…read morewe still get raves.

We met with Steven at The Farmhouse on 2/17, and were immediately impressed with his work. We fell…read morein love with one particular design, and immediately placed a deposit on what we thought was going to be the focal point of our dining room. Based on our conversations, we were to receive our table around 3/3 as we we were leaving for vacation the following weekend. We reached out to Steven on 2/23 and again on 3/1 with no response. A phone call finally prompted a response, and we discussed dimensions for a secondary table. We reached out to him before vacation on 3/9, and after vacation on 3/16. We were told finally on 3/16 that the table was done, and they were finishing the secondary small table. We made a followup inquiry on 3/16, with no response which by now I'm thinking is normal behavior. Inquiries again on 3/21 and 3/25 went unanswered until late in the afternoon on 3/25. We did receive a phone call from one of his workers, but no message was left. No further communication from Steven at this point. One final communication from his worker Trey was to schedule delivery on 4/1, but he said he needed to confirm with Steven. Of course a follow up message to Trey went unanswered. After this long nightmare, we were able to get our money back through our bank. Luckily we paid via credit card and not a check as the transaction was made at The Farmhouse. Steven will tell you about all of the famous people he makes furniture for, so maybe it was too small of a job to get his interest. It is really buyer beware when dealing with SDS Designs. Do you research ahead of time and you will see he has a history of poor communication with his customers. Of course there will be delays, or personal issues that arise as he indicated to us, but common business courtesy is to communicate this to your customer. The truly sad part about this is that it has ruined The Farmhouse for me. They truly do make amazing doughnuts.

They literally talk through you and will NOT acknowledge your existence. My self and my husband spoke directly to each of them four or five different times, looking at them straight in the face, and both ignored each of us. The female didn't even acknowledge me. The male made eye contact on a different occasion but refused to answer me until my husband asked the same question again and all he did then was respon with one word. We spent almost $400.00 in the store. The cash register person was sweet and helpful. Im just appalled at how humans treat humans these days.
